North West Turned Her Time-Out Into a Spa Day, and It's Kind of Brilliant

When our kids used to act up when they were little, my husband and I employed the Super Nanny method of using a "naughty step" for time-outs. Because while we had originally banished the little devils to their rooms to "think about what they had done," we quickly realized the joke was on us since they were actually having fun in there.

Something tells me Kim Kardashian may soon be switching over to the naughty step as well. Just check out this pic of North West having a full-on DIY spa day in her bathroom that she posted on Instagram on Tuesday:

Pretty cute, right? The 3-year-old definitely looks zen sprawled out on that white towel and oversized pillow with her cute stuffed bunny lying next to her. And how on-point is that piece of toilet paper she used to double as an eye mask? This is one kid who has clearly mastered the art of an at-home chill sesh!

But now take a look at Kim's caption:

"That time North gets a time out & is a little too quiet... I go in her room to check on her & she's in the bathroom," she wrote. "Made her own spa & tells me she's chilling out."

Pure genius! Because life is tough and getting in trouble is annoying, and sometimes a girl just needs some good old-fashioned R & R. And who knows—maybe North covered her face with toilet paper because she was ashamed of whatever it was that landed her in her room in the first place and she wanted to think about what she'd done.
